**IMPORTANT SITE ANNOUNCEMENT**
Submitted by nickb on Sun, 08/03/2008 - 10:13amOn Sunday, August 10th at 2am EST the site was briefly taken offline so we could merge forum users with blog/main site users and finally have a single login for the entire site (hooray!). While this is a good thing for the thousands of registered users on this site, there's over a hundred users who will have problems logging in if they didn't update their accounts beforehand (which nobody did). There are two main reasons you may have problems: 1) If there is a forum account with the same username as a blog account but with a different email address, one of the accounts will have '_2' tacked on the end (like 'nickb_2') and be treated as a separate account. If you don't do this it's not the end of the world, just send an email to admin [at] theicarusproject.net including your username and both email addresses and I will merge the accounts for you. If they aren't both your accounts, you'll probably want to change your username if it was the one that got _2 appended to it. You will have to contact me. Here are the usernames that were affected by this:
- 04240
- alex
- Angel
- annie
- annihilatetoddy
- Antman0128
- aranemone
- Bob R. Patterson

2) If there are any special characters in your forum username (anything aside from a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '-', '_', '.' or ' ') those special characters were be replaced with underscores. I realize that makes a lot of usernames look stupid - sorry. If you'd like me to change your username to something else send an email to admin [at] theicarusproject.net.

Also, if you had an account on the forums and an account on the main site, and those two accounts had different usernames, I can merge them under one name if you like. again, just send an email to admin [at] theicarusproject.net with the usernames and the email addresses of each account.
If there are any bugs in this, please let me know and I'll see if I can fix them.
- Nick (Web Group Coordinator)
